Recruited after winning the Best and Fairest award in the Central Goulburn Valley League. After the rover played 12 games in his debut season - including the last three of the home and away series - Roscoe then missed the finals. He started 1949 in the first team and played the first five games of the year - however the defending premiers were poor and only won one game out of five. Roscoe was dropped and never appeared in the seniors again.
